You sound like my husband, he wants to travel out west. He has been out of Fl twice in his 68 years, once as a child and once with me in 2010. I have lived on each coast, California, and North Carolina. I lived in the middle of the US, in Missouri, lived in Texas, and I live in Florida, but it has changed, and that is why my husband does not like it anymore. I think he wants to find a place to move to where there aren't many people. I will need to think about it.
I like the quote, it is how I feel about my home.
